RE: [Nolug] Poor Joey

Well, I cut my teeth on Debian (still bleeding, but thats just me)
Tried Red Hat, thought it stunk big time (probably because I got it at
CompUSA)
Anyway, I tried SuSE 8.1 and was amazed at the ease of installation.
I'm running SuSE 8.2 now. Only problem I have (as a linux newbie) is the
firewall configuration utility.
SuSE claims to support RPMs, haven't tried installing any, but that may be
useful info.

Keep in mind I do everything in KDE.

What have people heard about Fedora? My understanding is that it's the
replacement for the free Redhat distro.
